Tho Grand Army Political Organ
ization.

ization.
| No better evidence il needed that the
/ Grand Army of the Republic is becoming
political organization, if indeed it is not
/ already one, than the attitude which it has
! assumed toward the President It's hostility
| to him is not based upon any good reason,
and if the truth were known it would prob
ably appear that its oim in attacking him is
to iniure the Democratia party. 1t Is
worthy of notice that the leading officers of
the organization are Republicans, and that
whatever it does receives the united support
Of the Republican papers.
1t finds fault with the Presid mt because
he vetoed the dependent pension bill and
a number of private pension bills, and
it pretends that because of the Se vetocS he
is not the friend of the ex-Union soldiers.
Members of the organization threatened to
remain away from the grand encampment
at st. Louis, in October, if it were under
stood that the President would be present,
and other members INDUCED in talk that in
duced the President to cancel his acceptance
of the st. Louis invitation.
As a matter of fact the Presidents pen
sion record is much better than that of any
of his predecessors. This fact, however,
doesn't appear to count for anything with
the Grand Army politicians. Gen. Grant,
during the eight years he was in Office, APP
proved 4S5 private pension acts, and Mr..
Hayes approved BOB during his term. Gar
field and Arthur together approved 1876.
President Cleveland, whose term is only a
little more than half gone, has approved
S63. A glance at these figures will show
that he has approved II more than Grant
and Hayes together, and l27 more than
Garfield and Arthur
When it comes to appointments the records
show that he has not forgotten the ex- Union
soldiers. On the contrary he has appointed
more of them to office than any other Presl-
dent, and he has signed several general pen
sion bills that have been passed since he has
been in Office These include an increase of
pension to 1889 widows, minors and de
pendent relatives, an increase of pension to
10000 crippled Union soldiers, and the
pension TO Mexican veterans.
That President Cleveland has approved
more pension legislation than any other Presi-
dent, and that Democratic House has been
exceedingly liberal in legislation of that sort,
will not lessen the hostility of the Grand
Army to the President. 1t regards him as
the next nominee of the Democratic party,
and it is opposed to his election and to the
election of any other Democrat. 1t is con
trolled by Republican politicians and is being
used to advance the interests of the Repub-
lican party.

Did George Gould Skin Uncle CyrusP
From the NeiC York IruT

I am told and the authority is very close to
neither Mr. Jay Gould nor Mr.. Cyrus w. Field
who engineered the little transaction that cost
the latter 100000 1t was young Mr.. George
Gould who thought it all out and fixed it all up
while his father was away yachting for the
benefit of his health He did not dare, however,
to take the responsibility on his own shoulders
of striking the blow, and he therefore waited
for his fathers return. The father came back
the sledge hammer fell and Mr.. Field was scat
tered. A further bit of intimate history in con
nection with this affair is that young Mr.. Gould
has been determined for long time, if he ever
got it in his power, to strike a hard blow al
Field, and the cause of it was a decided slight
once put upon young Mrs George Gould, for
merly Edith Kingdom, by the old financier, who
little thought of the reprisas he would one day
be compelled to suffer.

An Incident in Krupp's Life.

1t is said that the leading newspapers
of Europe are full of anecdotes
and historical "reminiscences of the
late Frederick Krupp, the great
gunmaker of Essen. That he was a
remarkable man, and that he exerted a
great influence in the affairs of the world
there is no doubt.
His immense establishment at Essen will
be conducted by his eldest son, who, while
perhaps not possessing his fathers ability,
understands the business thoroughly, and is
capable of conducting it successfully. IL is
said that in the centre of the grounds occu-
pied by the Essen works there is little
building containing few old style FORCES,
and facilities for molding iron in a rather
rude way. This was the beginning of the
famous Krupp establishment, and it presents
about the same appearance now that
it did in 1912, when the
famous Krupp was born. On one occasion.
a few years ago, when the Kaiser was visit
ing the works, Krupp pointed out to him the
place where, when boy Of 10 years of age,
he stole n piece of bread from one of his
fathers workmen to satisfy his hunger
The fact that there ever was a time in
Frederick Krupp's life when his hunger was
so intense that he stole the means TO satisfy
it shows how great the possibilities in u
mans life are. His father must have been
very poor, and must have struggled long
and earnestly, denying himself and family
even the neceSsaries of life, TO start the fac
tory which eventually grew under the
direction of Frederick Krupp's mastering
genius into such colossal proportions.

A Southern Girl.

rom Society Verse by ABtericdn Writer
Her dimpled cheeks are pale
Shes lily of the vale,
Not rose.
In muslin or lawn
She is fairer than the dawn
To her beauS.
Her boots are slim and neat
She is warm about her feet,
1t is said.
She amputates her RS,
But her eyes are like the stars
Overhead
On balcony at night
With fieccy cloud of white
Round her hair
Her grace, ali! who could paint?
She would fascinate a saint,
| declare.
'TiS a matter of regret,
She's bit of a coquette
Whom sing.
On her cruel path she goes
With a half dozen beau.
To her string.
But let all that pass by,
AS her maiden moments fly,
Dew empeared
When she marrieS. on my life,
She will make the dearest wife
In the world.

Electric Motors.

The new street railway company which
has applied to the City Council for the use
of certain streets has been investigating the
different electric railway motors with the
view of adopting one of them if found to
be satisfactory. Electricity is being used TO
propel street cars in other cities, and there
does not appear to be any good reason why
it should not be introduced here. 1t is Ger
tanly preferable to horse power for many
reasons. One is that it is much less ex-
pensive and another is that street car pass
engers are relieved of the sight of suffering
horses and mules, struggling with burdens
which, on hot days, are sometimes almost too
great for them.
The development of the means for using
electricity as a motive power has been very
great-so great, indeed, that only few,
comparatively, of those interested in street
railroads have kept themselves thoroughly
informed on the subject. While perhaps it
cannot be said that the electric railway in
ventions which are at present before the
public are perfect, they are being so i'm
proved that they are giving great satisfac-
ton.
cessful operation in Europe, and in this
country they are to be found in the follow
ing cities: Montgomery, Ala; Baltimore,
Nd. Los Angeles, Cal Port Huron, Mich. ;
Windsor, Ont. Detroit, Mich. two; APP
pleton, Wis. Scranton, Pa; Denver, Col,
aud Philadelphia, Pa Other roads are I'M
der contract at Pittsburg, Pa; Lima, Q. :;
San Diego, Cal; Ansonia, Conn; ST.
Joseph, Mo; Mansfield, o.. Ithaca, N. Y ;
Harrisburg, Pa. Woonsocket, r. l., and
Richmond, Va.
The favorite motor in use is that in which
the electricity is carried along a wire strung
above the track and connected by another
wire with the car. Another is that by
which the electricity is conducted along n
third rail in the centre of the road bed. A
third is that in which an underground con-
duit is used. In addition to these is the
storage system, with which experiments
have been going on in Philadelphia for a
number of years, and which recently I'M
derwent very successful test. The cleo
tricity is stored in battery under the car
seats. The test showed that the storage
battery contained enough electricity to run
an ordinary car, in some places over heavy
grades, for four hours at speed of from
twelve to fifteen miles per hour.
1t is claimed for all the electric motors that
cars can be run at about one-half the cost of
horsepower. The plants are, of course, ex-
pensive. In fact, it seems as though the
owners of electric motor patents have the
same idea about street railroads that is en-
tertained by the uninitiated public, namely,
that they are mints of money, and they
want the minis In few years, however,
competition and new inventions will greatly
reduce the cost of electric motor plants
The horse will then disappear as the pro
polling power Of the street cars.

Not long ago a number of candidates for
positions as teachers in the public schools
were examined. They passed creditably
enough until some questions were asked
about the history of Georgia. When asked
who founded the State only one answered
correctly. A young woman, who seemed to
be brighter than any of the other candi-
dates, said that a lawyer told her that the
State was discovered and settled by man
named Yazoo, who was afterward burned
at the stake for fraud. This examination
was not conducted in Savannah, but it was
